"All of us at some time will face difficulties and coping can become increasingly hard. It is often difficult talking to friends or family about the things that trouble us most. That's where it can be helpful to talk to a counsellor. A counsellor is trained to listen and understand your life experiences without judgement. Working together you will have the space to explore and better understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. This will help you to make decisions about the changes that you want in your life or to accept those things you cannot change."

"I work with people who are ready to address some kind of dis-ease in their lives, whether that is an anxiety, an addiction or stress-related physical pain. Many of these issues take time to address properly although people often experience relief relatively quickly. I worked as a teacher before becoming a psychotherapist, and still like the Greek word for teaching: pedagogy, which has at its heart the idea of accompanying. I accompany people on their journey; I rarely offer advice but work WITH people to help them understand themselves, what they want, and the best way forward for them."

"Life can be challenging and there might be times when we find ourselves out of control, struggling to cope and are in emotional pain. Therapy can help you to understand your feelings, thoughts and what you are experiencing in a non-judgemental and confidential space. Often behaviours or modes of being that have been useful in the past are no longer serving us well in our current lives. Therapy can be a space to foster awareness into what is keeping us stuck and through the re-examination of the roles we might be adopting in relation to ourselves and others, our choices and beliefs, a new perspective and understanding into ourselves and our difficulties can be reached. This new understanding and awareness can increase our sense of freedom, with new choices and possibilities arising and a sense of clarity in how to move forward and live a more fulfilling life. More than anything I hope to provide a space in which you can truly be yourself, without a fear of judgement or expectations and demands being put upon you. "

"If you are thinking about therapy, it can be difficult to take the first step.

Usually, there are factors and events over a period of time which have contributed to the way the person is feeling.

"As parents, we often find that there is something holding our young people back and we desperately want to help - from youngsters not controlling temper to anxious stressed-out teens and every stage in between. I know from experience with my own kids, and the hundreds I have worked with, that new challenges appear almost overnight and can have a huge impact. Emotional and behavioural difficulties can feel overwhelming, but proven therapeutic techniques and strategies will make a difference to these very quickly. "
